Today I learned about organizing the week, the benefits of doing so and the negatives of doing so. By 'Organize the week’ I mean to invest time and effort into setting goals and making plans for the incoming week. It is a step by step process. The first thing I do is Rewrite the reasons why I plan the week. The second thing I do is read what I want my life to look like in the next next five years. The third thing I do is write down the things I want to accomplish by the end of the week. The fourth thing I’ll do is type up these goals into an Evernote. Then starting with Saturday I’ll make a list of goals for each day of the week derived from my original list. The sixth thing I’ll do is plan the accomplishment of these list of each day on Google Planner, starting with Saturday as well. One benefit is that upon writing down a list of goals for the week their is now a baseline for the week. I can now measure whether the week was fully utilized or not. Another benefit is that one is more likely to capitalize on the opportunities the week will present. Sometimes opportunities pop up and luckily I’ve already got the goal on my list for the day ready to be checked off. One of the most important benefits I believe is that it gives the week direction. One keeps doing this over and over and it’s pretty obvious that the small steps one takes to get ahead pushes one further as time goes on. The negatives as far as I can tell are few. It just takes time. It just takes practice. It just takes patience. Small price to pay. Organizing the week is a good way to make sure your life is going in the direction you determine.
